I’ll wait till the holiday weekend ends then send out a survey to get an idea of the demographics we have in this group

🌟What's happening Wednesday🌟
What's going on in Charlotte? Let's use this thread to share events, concerts, holiday festivities, and other fun things happening in the city this weekend!

So, how many days left before you start the holiday seasons? What are your biggest priorities for the new year?

Question on compensation for a small co with a huge independent contractor workforce that is looking at big expansion into Europe. Reports to the general counsel. 1 other lawyer. Bonus 10-18%. Last year was 15%. No 401k for highly comped employees. I asked if they would be open to having me set up a safe harbor 401 k and they said yes in the future but it won’t be part of this offer. 16 pto days. They moved from 205 to 210 but that 230 is not possible even tho posted salary range was up to 233k

Hey everyone, would 12/23 afternoon not a bad time for holiday travels? Booking for a flight for my parents from overseas to LAX ,trying to avoid crazy busy afternoon.

Trying to be really understanding about coworkers with no children feeling stressed during the holiday season, but it's hard not to ask if they'd prefer to go home to my sick kid, frustrated spouse and dirty house instead of their empty apartment where they have a flat screen TV and a beer waiting. How do you keep sane?

Do you guys charge vacation form holidays or excused leave?

What's the longest vacation you've taken and where did you go? Thinking about capitalizing on my unlimited PTO and want some ideas.

In 2023 I'm wanting to help make my management more effective. So, I'm looking for a book or a couple of books to gift my team this holiday season. I would like books that focus on communication and taking ownership. Any recommendations?

Ate so poorly on vacation im scared to weigh myself 😣

I am so beyond ready to leave my current job, but can’t yet, since bonuses are paid out in January. 😬

In the meantime, I’ve applied to a lot of similar roles (slightly higher) but have not heard - good or bad - from any. Is it common for companies to slow down hiring in December because of Q4 rush, people on holiday, etc.?

Starting a new job next month, and considering taking two days off for kids’ spring break next month. Not sure whether it’s appropriate to request time off for a new job (I would’ve preferred not to take any time off for first three months). I may just be able to just ask for a single Friday off (so 1 day rather than 2 days).

Any thoughts on whether I should proceed with the request? I just came from big law and want to make sure I’m not making a bad impression on my colleagues.

Which companies & roles pay very well, hybrid work approach, and allowed unlimited pto?

Living in a ~700 unit rental building with 50+ staff - any suggested holiday tipping? Staff at the building come and go all the time (we just got a whole new wave of doormen in November)

Fishbowlers - do you book your vacation and ask for forgiveness later, or ask for the green light from your PM and then book?

Question for BAH - are you able to expense taxi/uber for after hour safety from your holiday event to home? I know most companies let you and so does Deloitte. Asking for a Booz friend.

About to finish my first year. I’m a specialist. Only going to hit 65% of my hours (took a 4 week vacation cause of wedding/hm).

I never say no to work and i have fantastic reviews, and the head of my practice (with whom I work a lot for) has great things to say about me.

I’ve been fully utilized starting ~June, but first few months were slow. Am i fine?!

This is my first holiday season in Charlotte, is the tree lighting festival worth attending? Does anyone know what to expect?

Do you drink or do anything wild at company holiday parties or events? I feel like as one of the only minority associates I have to be extra careful to stay professional. All my white coworkers can talk about is the open bar and how crazy everyone gets...true or false for your company?

It’s amazing the power that asking easy-to-answer questions can have on a community. It’s a great way to get nervous users more comfortable with engaging.

Will be in Dallas for work next week, any recommendations (must see, restaurants, tours or shows)?

New wage code!

Has your CTC been revised according to new wage code ? ie. Min 50% basic ?
Neither my current employer nor any offers that have been extended to me have been in accordance with this. Will our CTC be revised this FY ?
